The Verba's primary new feature is its multispectral optical seeker, using three sensors - ultraviolet, near infrared, and mid-infrared - as opposed to the Igla-S' two. Cross-checking sensors against one another better discriminates between relevant targets and decoys, and decreases the chance of disruption from countermeasures, including ...

T129 ATAK helicopter with two very short range Air-to-Air Stinger missiles mounted under-wing. The helicopter launched missile is developed from the FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS. Air-to-air missiles are typically long, thin cylinders in order to reduce their cross section and thus minimize drag at the high speeds at which they travel.
